What do you think about this guitar?
I asked mike from SV and the price should be around $1300.

Have you played it? Have you compared stuff? Whats your opinion on the hardware/bells & whistles? Do you need the hardware?

I mean, high end or what, if it doesn't rock your boat then what's the point?
 
haven't try it though, but it looks good on specs that why i said "thinking" of buying.
Anybody else got better suggestions or advise?
 
wow.

if you count the X-bridge with control X, Duncan pickups and Sperzel tuners, that's almost $1k for some of the parts alone.

2-pc alder body (can't really go wrong with that), high quality hardware, acoustic AND electric sounds in one axe,

no matter where it's made, that is a lot of value for money, i'd say!

if they bring this in i would surely recommend it to my friends.
 
whoa the vid of the prism on the site is pretty cool, always wanted to get a piezo/electric blend option...and theres a mono/stereo button camouflaged into the pickguard. Really interested!

the piezo/electric blend option has been around for a while already.

its under the brand PARKER. most of the parker fly's have this option. so the swing guitar concept isn't exactly new.

Jazzit: do think carefully about it first. the specs may look good, but more importantly, it has to feel good and comfortable in your hand.
 
Looks cool. But got to wait till its out b4 people try it.
Dun worry it its gd or bad im sure by word of mouth we'll find out preety soon.

But going by pics alone, i prefer their ez series
Their hard maple natural finish top are really chio
The spalted maple tops look killer
But looks dun make a gd guitar

Its wait & see for now

Hope sv brings in those series for less than $1500
 
i bought the swing prism today!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is a must to share with your all!

After testing this guitar, i have several great comments about it.
All the parts are like what is stated in the site. extremely high quality.
The workmanship of this guitar is perfect, more perfect than a fender i can say.
The neck have a very smooth, nice feel and grip, finishing flawless, extremely high class fret job, sustain of this guitar extremely long, i only can find this type of sustain in gibson les paul so far.
Sound of neck and mid pickups are vintage sounding, bridge pickup is super high output.
Piezo is another plus point, instant switch to acoustic sounding, blending of acoustic and electric sounding give the tone extra twang sounding.
Seriously this guitar shouldn't be selling so cheaply.

Originally wanted to get a fender at sweelee sales but i am gald i didn't. I am a proud owner of SWING PRISM!
